Vandort hasn't done too badly in the domestic season....

In the Tier A Premier League, he only played six matches and he scored a century and two half-centuries. Did Udawatte, Kaushal and Kapu play in the Tier A Premier League? If so, how did they do with the bat? And how did Mathews perform with the bat in the same competition?

Pakistan needs 168 to win it
5/0 at the moment
2 days left in the game so Pakistan should win, unless they collapse

Big test for Mendis here, if he gets on a roll, then he could just run through the entire side, but gotta say Pakistan should cruise through pretty easily from here on.

Anyways, Pakistan definitely seem to have a star in the making in Aamer, they now just need to ensure that he stays away from controversy.

that's his own responsibility, but he knows what he has to do. he knows he to learn alot to become a good bowler & offcourse needs to work hard on his fitness & shouldn't feel proud

I was talking more on the lines, of somebody monitoring what sort of medicines he pops, so he doesn't have the same fate as Asif's.

Mathews averaged 100. Kaushal averaged in the 50s, as did Kapu. Udawatte was on par with Vandort. Tharanga ahead of both Udawatte and Vandort as a test opener atm. He averaged 50 odd as well and kept that average for Sri Lanka A and provincial cricket.

Asif will be back this september, & yeah i also hope they should know which medicines they need to use & which to avoid.

Three bowlers? I thought Mathews was supposed to be an allrounder?
:unsure:
Personally, I'm not convinced he's anything more than a bits-and-pieces player, who should really be playing the shortened version of the game....

Dilshan should not be keeping wicket AND batting at six. I think England are making the same mistake with Prior. I believe a keeper should really bat no higher than seven in Tests....

If Mathews is a batting allrounder, he should be batting at six. But is he good enough?
I meant 3 specialist bowlers.

Mathews' bowling isn't all that great but he is a very good batsman and he was picked for his batting. He got a couple of double centuries in the domestic tourny.

I think Dilshan and Sangakkara should share the wicket keeping role, Sanga should probably keep for the spinners.

Prasanna Jayawardene is one of the best keepers in the world but his batting isn't all that great!

Mathews can keep as well. Kept for U17s, when he was 14 and wasn't fast enough to play as a bowler. There nothing he can't do tbh.

And now two gone. Herath gets Butt in the same over. What an utterly moronic shot by But! :@

Pakistan failing to face the pressure. Surely they can't blow this?

And the collapse is on. Malik gone for a duck. Maybe unlucky to be given out, but out he is. Wow. I don't think I can watch anymore.
